Half-life period for a first order reaction is _____________ the initial concentration of the reactant?

Correct answer: C. Independent of

  • A. Directly proportional to
  • B. Inversely proportional to
  • C. Independent of
  • D. None of these

Explanation

For a first-order reaction, t₁/₂ = 0.693/k, which contains no initial concentration term. This independence of starting concentration is a characteristic distinction from zero- and second-order reactions.
